"Nu ABO" (Korean: Nu 예삐오; Nu Yeppioh) is the first extended play by South Korean girl group f(x). It was released digitally on May 4, 2010, in South Korea under the record label of S.M. Entertainment and distribution label of KMP Holdings. The EP's promotional singles were the title track and "Mr. Boogie".

Background

The title is a play on words meaning "New Blood Type": A, B and O are blood types, and if the letters are said in succession, it sounds like "ye-bbi-oh" ("예삐오").

Promotions

The title track from the EP, "Nu ABO", was chosen as the lead single. "Mr. Boogie" was re-released as a digital single on July 17, 2010 for follow-up promotions. Live performances of both "NU ABO" and "Mr Boogie" were broadcast on various local music shows Music Bank, Show! Music Core and Inkigayo during the promotional cycle. "ME+U" was also performed during the 2010 Dream Concert and on Wave K with its own choreography. A remix version of "Ice Cream" by Idiotape was also released on March 27, 2013.[1] The title track was also used for the Korean-American film Make Your Move (2013), and was subsequently included on its soundtrack.[2]
